1931 Ford Model A Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"The reviews for the 1931 Ford Model A reflect a mix of nostalgia and enjoyment among owners. Most drivers love its classic styling, unique features like the rumble seat, and the straightforward driving experience. However, some noted challenges with steering at low speeds and performance at high speeds, which could be a concern for those unfamiliar with antique cars."
In order to understand my position on this car you have to realize it was the first manual transmission I ever drove, which makes it special. I have also driven/ridden in it for over 15,000 miles, which makes it a part of almost every antique vehicular (mental) comparison I make. That being said, with hydraulic brakes the car can stop on a dollar and give you change. It is a chore to steer at slow speeds (<10 mph). It has a pressurized block, as well as, a counterbalanced crankshaft which add to the original model a performance. It will maintain 65 mph easily, but any higher speed it is downright dangerous. It has the essence of 1920-30s classic lines. Also, it averages 20 mpg, a little less when we rally it. I will always love this car, it is the most reliable antique we own and I have spent so much time in it sentimental does not begin to describe its value.
June 25, 2011This car has an Iroc engine, all leather interior, rumble seat and is a beautiful car inside and out. A pleasure to drive.
March 5, 2008Black and chrome, doesn't get better than that! Handling and acceleration was excellent. Freeway driving was comfortable and reliable. Quick response can be a pro and con. Over-steer can lead to issues and uncontrollability. Exciting to drive and people are always pulling up next to you and stare. Thumbs up!

April 3, 2012One of a kind old school hot rod. Lots of power. Handles nice. Very easy to work on. Great to take to cruise nights and car shows. Driven often during the nice weather. Gets lots of attention where ever you go.
August 19, 2011Here's a romantic ride I rebuilt in 2005. She's all stock, 45 hp flat head engine, 3-speed tranny, electric starter, rumble seat and "Ahooga" horn, just like Henry made it. She doesn't see any parades, but she's a good driver. Every wave is answered with a honk of the horn.
January 6, 2009This was the first engine i rebuilt. I was 13 years old and it was really simple to do. Engines weren't very complicated then. I co-owned this car with my dad. We had another car at the time we drove until I rebuilt the engine on this car.
